Helps students edit grammar and spelling when writing.
Allows for language translation.
Can help students rephrase sentences to be more concise or make better sense.
Easy to use text box.
This extension is can be used for all editing on your computer.
Audio Apps
Pulsate
This is a live app that does not save a specific product. You have to download the app and then click away to make various music patterns.
As a lesson I would have students experiment with different patterns and sounds to find what they think is relaxing or enjoyable. They could then listen the music while reading or working on classwork. They would be able to change the music each time they used the app.
Easy and fun way to make musical patterns
Students could use patterns of music to listen to while studying
Could be used to teach sound patterns and visual patterns
Allows for students to change settings to create various sounds.
Allows for a lot of creative exploration
Students could get carried away and make some pretty annoying music.
Some may not like the sounds produced

There is a paid portion for $25 that will give you more features.
When using math it doesn't recognize the terminology so instead of saying, "one times two" It will say one space "X" space two.
